-- main file 
include GtkEngine.e 
include myfile1.e  -- GtkEngine.e would be recognized in each of these files. 
include myfile2.e 
include myfile3.e 
 
-- bunchuv code 
 
-- end main file 

thinking about your question a little more, and not having tried latest EUGTK4 available, if your main file is only going to use public and global symbols from GtkEngine.e and BTW, that is all it should ever need as a library consumer, then try it like this:

-- myfile1.e 
public include GtkEngine.e  
-- can use public, export in GtkEngine, and global routines from EUGTK4 
-- passes only public, and global routines to any file that does include file1.e 
 
-- more code  
 
-- end myfile1.e  
 
 
-- main file  
include myfile1.e  --  set up Gtk  
include myfile2.e  -- needs include GtkEngine.e to use export or public GTK 
  
-- here can use public,and global EUGTK4 routines, none of export 
-- bunchuv code  
  
-- end main file  

EUGTK4 local  --x--  file1 
EUGTK4 export ---->  file1 --x--  main 
EUGTK4 global ---->  file1 -----> main -----> 
EUGTK4 public ---->  file1 -----> main --x--   
 
EUGTK4 export --x--  file2 
EUGTK4 global ----> file2 ----> file3 
EUGTK4 public --x--  file2
